A man whose mother died during surgery 20 years ago is the suspect in the fatal shooting of a prominent Houston cardiologist who performed the operation, police said Wednesday.
Chief Art Acevedo said the mother of Joseph James Pappas, 62, was a patient of Dr. Mark Hausknecht, who was fatally shot as he rode his bicycle to work at Houston Methodist Hospital on July 20. Police earlier said Pappas was born in 1953.
Acevedo said a tip came in Tuesday after surveillance video released a day before showed the suspect, whom someone said they recognized. Police got a search warrant and went to Pappas’ home, but he was not there.
Acevedo said Pappas had made phone calls indicating he was considering suicide. The suspect has not been seen in almost two days.
There was evidence at the home linking Pappas to the killing, the chief said.
The renowned cardiologist, who treated former President George H.W. Bush, and the suspect were seen shortly before the shooting riding their bicycles on South Main Street, police said.
Surveillance footage showed the suspect following Hausknecht as both pedaled north, police said.
Hausknecht’s wife, Georgia Hsieh, said police told her that her husband was riding through a construction area when the gunman rode up in front of him and fired three shots while facing him.

Good guess.
Ya think?
It’s my understanding that the Pappas chains are owned by the Landry group.
No, at least according to Wikipedia
I don't either.
How old was this guy? 65? And he chooses to chase someone on a bicycle and also chooses to do it right before an area with no cameras so he'd have a good getaway. LOL
According to plan, he conveniently commits suicide - so he can't be questioned or deny the charges.
I'm wondering if the Deep State wants to do something to GHWB like they did to Colby.
